Knowing something of the seriousness of thesubject matter, this workbook has been written with fear and trembling: Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you knowthat we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. James I would like to thank my wife Charo who is growing to be strong in theLord, and my three children Ian, Evan, and Rowan who are able to pullme away from my work with a glance. I would also like to thank the staffat HeartCry who encouraged me to publish this work, and Pastor CharlesLeiter of Kirksville, Missouri, whose insights were invaluable.

Founded upon the conviction that the Scriptures are the inspired and infallible Word of God, this study has been designed in such a way that it is literally impossible for the student to advance without an open Bible before him or her. Our goal is to obey the exhortation of the apostle Paul in II Timothy Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Each lesson deals with a specific doctrine of the attributes of God. The student will complete each lesson by answering the questions according to the Scriptures given. The student is encouraged to meditate upon each text and write his or her thoughts. The benefit reaped from this study will de- pend upon the students investment. If the student answers the questions by thoughtlessly copying the text and without seeking to understand its mean- ing, very little will be gained.

The student will find that this is primarily a Biblical study and does not contain much in the way of colorful illustrations, quaint stories, or even theological commentaries. It was our desire to provide a work that only pointed the way to the Scriptures and allowed the Scriptures to speak for themselves. This book may be used by an individual, small group, or Sunday school class. It is highly recommended that the student complete each chapter on his or her own before meeting for discussion and questions with the group or discipleship leader.

Exhortation to the Student Through the use of this book the student is encouraged to study biblicaldoctrine and discover its exalted place in the Christian life. The true Chris-tian cannot bear or even survive a divorce between the emotions and theintellect, or between devotion to God and the doctrine of God. Accordingto the Scriptures, neither our emotions nor our experiences provide an ad-equate foundation for the Christian life. Only the truths of Scripture, under-stood with the mind and communicated through doctrine, can provide thatsure foundation upon which we should establish our beliefs and behavior aswell as determine the validity of our emotions and experiences.

The mindis not the enemy of the heart, and doctrine is not an obstacle to devotion. The twoare indispensable and should be inseparable. The Scriptures command usto love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with allour mind Matthew , and to worship God in both spirit and in truth John The study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline.

It is apassionate search for God that should always lead the student to greaterpersonal transformation, obedience, and heartfelt worship.

Therefore, thestudent should be on guard against the great error of seeking only imper-sonal knowledge, and not the person of God. This spiritual battle is reflected in the hearts and minds of men and women today. One True Story, One True God shows how God has moved through history with redemptive, missional intent and gives you a glimpse of how God will use you to further accomplish His plan.

By seeing the historical context of God's redemption plan, you'll have a fresh understanding of God's big story and where you fit in it.

Western history would be unrecognizable had it not been for people who believed in One True God. There would have been wars, but no religious wars. There would have been moral codes, but no Commandments. Had the Jews been polytheists, they would today be only another barely remembered people, less important, but just as extinct as the Babylonians.

Had Christians presented Jesus to the Greco-Roman world as ''another'' God, their faith would long since have gone the way of Mithraism. And surely Islam would never have made it out of the desert had Muhammad not removed Allah from the context of Arab paganism and proclaimed him as the only God. The three great monotheisms changed everything. With his customary clarity and vigor, Rodney Stark explains how and why monotheism has such immense power both to unite and to divide.

Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? Why did both Christianity and Islam suddenly become less tolerant of Jews late in the eleventh century, prompting outbursts of mass murder? Why were the Jewish massacres by Christians concentrated in the cities along the Rhine River, and why did the pogroms by Muslims take place mainly in Granada? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert?

Why did they sometimes assimilate? In the final chapter, Stark also examines the American experience to show that it is possible for committed monotheists to sustain norms of civility toward one another.

A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world. Monotheism, the idea that there is only one true God, is a powerful religious concept that was shaped by competing ideas and the problems they raised. McGrath argues that even the most developed Christologies in the New Testament fit within the context of first century Jewish "monotheism.

Many people believe they have some type of relationship with God. Many of these relationships are based on a deal a person believes they have made with God. Young Christians could scarcely spend their time better than working carefully through these pages. Iain H.
